TI1K COUNTKY NEWSPAPEK. Tho Seneca Falls JUveille says: "The edit ing of a country newspaptr is no light task, as many are led lo believe. The identity and per sonality of tho iditor cannot be concealed or avoided; ho speaks himself and all his readers know him, and upon him rests the whole re eponsibility of all he says. Self respect and an ardent desire lo do well nnd lo deserve wrll at Ihe hands of his subscribers and patrons prompts him to Mrive conslnntly in season and O'lt of seaon so lo conduct his journal as tn re flect crtdit upon hiuisilfund upon tho commu nitv in which It is published. Tlic first and most essential thing in tho conduct of a coun try journal is to have it clean. No line or word should be admitted to its columns that might not be repeated iu the family circle. In its dialings with men it ihould be fair and just, if occasion should arise for praise or blame it honld he jnslly mi-ted out. Personal pr-gu dice and bias for good or ill should never con trol the editorial columns. As a purveyor of news, the country paper needs much watching and constant scrutiny To these issenlials for the decent conduct of a newspaper must bo added the netd of the ear nest co-operation of the community ntnong whom it circulates, aad for who'e benefit, if properly conducted, it does so much. No class of men know belter than editors the blt'erness of a want of appreciation and of moral and mn- terlal support. If people would only realize what advantage it is to a lown to havo a decent, well-conducted paper, they would with ono no- cord lender such encouragement and mppnrt ai would lighten the editorial burden and lifl the editorial heart. Ihe labor bestowed on a live local journal h vory great, and it should meet witli a generous recognition on the part of all who aio interested in the success and rospenty of the villago in which it la pub- lished.

Hnreessfal Under Unfavorable Clrrnmstnn. res Kxrrllrnt Itililtiltn-Imrflfi At tendnnee I'nst Trottlnir. The sunshine was of brief duration on tbo second day of the fair. Clouds of ominous blackness rolled up and covered the sky and heavy showers fell at Intervals. The roads soon became muddy, nnd the grass too wet (o walk upon with comfort or safety. It began to look as If, for the first time tn tho history of the Society, the weather would spoil the exhibition, Only a few hundred people were on tho grounds and most of those were exhibitors and proprie tors of booths. In tho cvenldg, however, the wind shifted lo tho West, the air grew cooler and the clouds dispersed. Friday was a per fect October day, clear, cool nnd bright. At an enrly hour the farmers and tholr wives, daugh ters and sweolhearts began to arrive, and foi several hours a steady stream of vehicles of nil kinds and sizes, poured through the streets and into Iho fair grounds, Every train that arrived had its quoin to add to Ihe crowd. The scene In tho nfiernooon on the grounds was very ln spiriting. Men, women and children, to tho number of 0,000, strolled about, Inspecting tho exhibits, listening to the muslo or patronizing tho many booths and side shows. Hundreds of teams wcro lied to the fences and posts nnd every foot of available spaco was filled. There was a large and good display of live stock, sheop.pigs, cattle and horses. The blood ed animals wero more numerous than usual and of a better class. All the stalls were occupied and there were enough entries to have filled many more. ! armors aro evidently taking more interest in raising blooded slock, than they have heretofore. The display of poultry was not extenslvo Thero were Borue Immense turkeys, a few ducks and chicken. Jamos Shaffer exhibited a fine assortment of fancy pigeons and A. Solledcr had pigeons and Golden Seabright fowls Tho agricultural machines were mauy and various tho best we havo ever Been. They were handsomely painted and shone resplond ent In brilliant colors and polished metal. M. C. Sloan & Bro., had on exhibition two beautifully finished buggies and a platform pleasure spring wagon. They were fair sam plos of the excellent work always done by this firm. Mr. M. C. Sloan Is a farmer as well as a carriage builder, and carried off tho first prize for wheat. C. E. Davenport, of Berwick, had a neat set of light singlo harness, wrll nnd attractivoly made. Henry S. Reay deserves n word of praise for hiselaborato display of paints. The numerous cans were arranged with good taste aud pro duced a most creditable effect. The exhibits of fancy articles, embroidery, fine needlework, (so interesting to the ladies and so wholly beyond tho power of any news' papor man to describe intelligently,) wero not only numerous but were said by competent judges to be better in quality than had ovor been exhibited on any previous occasion. This we are disposed to believe because hosts of fair inspectors wero always to be found in this department feasting their eyes on the novelties displayed Mr. David Lowenberg exhibited China and Japanese wolf robes, buffalo robes, suits for children and adults, overcoats and wearing ap parel generally. One of the overcoats merits special mention. It was of very heavy, dark green Melton clolb, lined throughout with a superior quality of eilk, substantially sewed, and showing a degree of finish and style most creditable to the maker. This coat fully equal to any city make, cost much less than would be demanded in 'Philadelphia or New York for the same kind and quality of material. J. Saltzer displayed tlio famous Eatey organs. and different makes of pianos. One of the itt ter, a Hardman, hod an ebonize I case, a new anil rich style which was very atlractive, W. H. Yotter had the Ithaca pianos and organs, and tlio Domestic sewing machines. Some of the braiding, embroidery, quilling, &c, was really wonderful, and was as beautiful as any thing of Ihe kind that ever came under our no tice. Gomer Thomas, of Danville, bad a large assortment of pianos and musical instruments, and a crowd was alwajrB to bo found at bis stand listening to the playing of diflvront per formers. Very good music they fumbhtd, and the audience was apparently gra'ified. The display of fruils was not Urge, but the samples exhibited were of much better quality thai was to have been expected iu so unfavor able a scaeon. The jellies, preserves, pickles, Ac, wero the best for years and received the praise they rich ly deseived. Thero wero hundreds of atliibs which wo have not spac.) to mention, though many of them are entitled to a favorable word. It Is no more than jmt to say that, taking into con sideration ihe Jnisny difficulties that wero en counteied, iho recent fair will coiu( are favora bly wilb any of iis predecessor-, and in ninny respects exceeds them. In some of the de partments tho ixhihita wire never larger nor better, nnd Iho lolal number is greater than laat year's. The buildings wore nil in good or der, as were nlso the grounds. Thero was such a liberal uo made of circulars 'and hand hills, that on the lat day, lh gras was literally cov- orcd withjpaper which drifted about at the ca- prico of the wind and disfigured ihe grounds '1 here was no lack of minor amusements of fered to the people. Booths abounded and at ihem could bo obtained candies, iho inevit able pink lemonade, peanuts, pop corn, cigira, toys, oysters and coffee. No intoxicating Hqtit r was sold. An immense business was dono in toy balloons and nearly every one of the bun. droJs ofchildrtn on thegrounds, was equipped wlih a pink or bine rubber bubble. The (fleet produced by the lhatingof these bright bits of color was very striking nnd, added to tho va rinus huts of ladies' attire, made a perfect kal eidoECope, when viewed from the towerlne height of tho judges' stand. In addition to the booths just mentioned, there were places whore you could shoot at a mark with parlor rifles, or throw base ball at wooden heads set at a con' venient distance. The prize offered for knock Ing down a head was a cigar, and ono dollar if three were struck in succes'ion. So tar as we observed, nobody carried oil' Ihe dollar. The Buckhorn band was engaged by tbo So ciety to play during the four days ut tin fair, and did tholr duty conscientiously and acceptably. Whenever a race was announced, the band proceeded from the band stand totheamphitbealre and discoursed divers airs, between tho heats, lo keep tho people in good humor and oblivious of time, In compliance with Ihe programme made by the Society, thero was a grand cavalcade of stock on Thursday morning. The inclemency of the weather deterred many from visiting the grounds and comparatively few persona had a good view of tho animals as Iho stalls are so narrow that the occupants cannot ho seen lo ad vantage. In the afternoon ihero was a foot race, which waa easily woo by Michael Clark, of Centralis. The first trolling was for the county purse of $60-Qrt horse $25, second $15, third $10, For this there wero the following ontrlea; V. W. Sutliirs Dexter. Jos. Knelly's Bird. J. 0. Menslnger's Brown Pat. J. 8, Blue's Sorrel Bob. Tho latter won In llireo straight heals, but a protest waB entered, and be wag ruled out. Hex ler was awarded first money, Brown Pat sec ond, and Bird third. No lime waa taken, The mule race announced for the afternoon did not lake place for lack of entries 1, 1.1. 3, 8, 4. 2, 2, 2. 4, 4, 8. John Shuman enters br, m, Kitty Clay 1, 1, 1, T.

Thero was a foiirih ontry, but nflcr n pro test had been made Iho driver refused to trot and withdrew. This little equabble wasted some time. At tho farmers' race In tlio afternoon, the grand aland was almost filled with spectators and there was much excitement manifested. Tho following Is the summary! Alfred Hess enters br. g. Dan G. W. Kelchnor " b. h. Samuol Hidlay " blk. m. W. J. Hidlay " b. m. Dolly, Time, 3.45, 3.54, 2 60. From the beginning It was seen that tho dri ver of Dan was holding back his horse, and that ho could win the race as be chose. This was conclusively proved in tho third beat,whon Dan was allowed his head and made tho mllo In nearly a nflnnlo faster than beforo. Tho trot was not of much interest, as It was appa rent thnt neither of Iho ohtora was a match for Dan. He Is a promising yoring horse and Mt' Hess, hisjowner, is proud of him. After the race ho trotted an exhibition heat, and the time as announced from ihe stand was 2.63. This Is not bad for a green horse, fresh from farm work and unused to tho track. The band contest was nnnouncod to take place at three o'clock, the purso being $25. The Catawissa cornet band was tho only con testant nnd received the prize after playing sov- tral nirs in its usual ma3torly style. It Is an excellent musical organization nnd Catawissa has every reason to be proud of it, The firBt thing on Saturday's programme waa tho prize for female equestrianism. This fell through, as for some reason or other the ladies did not como to time. A foot race,not on the programme, was made np to fill tho vacan cy caused by the non-appearance of tho eques triennes and the non-performanco of tho mar riago ceremony, which was postponed on ac count of tho sickness of Iho would-be bride. Thrco young men entered for tho race: Ml chael Clark, of Centraliaj Tom Hirst, of AbIi land, and John Johnson, of Catawissa. The distance waa ono mile. Thero was more ex. citcment over this raco than nt any of tho pre ceding horse trots. Clark took tho lead at the start and maintained it until coming near the homu stretch on tho second half mile. Hirst, who up to that time had run a waiting race,and kept n few feet behind Clark, lapped his com petitor, and then passed him, coming under the wiro about a dozon feot ahead. The time announced was 5.01. In the draught horse contest two teams com' pcted, one owned by Jacob S. Mnrlz, the other by Wesley Bowman. They drew 5500 lbs. of nie iron on a stone boat. Mr. Mattz's team was decided to have pulled with greater stead inesa and received the first prize. An attempt was made to get an additional free for all race In Ihe morning, but it was not successful. The programme closed with a free for all race: for a puraeof $185; $100 to first horse, SCO to the second and $25 to the third. Be fore the horses were brought upon the track, the sound ( f martial music attracted tho atten lion of the people, and all eyes were turned to wards the main entrance to thegrounds. The nates awune open, aod the fire companies of Bloomsburg, in full uniform, and drawing Iheir hoso carriages snd truck, entered and passed around tho track. The men looked and marched well, and the apparatus was as neat and trim as could be made by care and attention. This parade was au unexpected feature of the day's proceedings nnd was highly appreciated, The line was formed In the following order: The Friendship hire Company, 25 strong; tbo Ilea cue Hose and Hook and Ladder Company, 20 strong, and the Winona Hoso Company, 18 strong. Tho members of tho latter company appeared for the first time In public in their new unifurms and looked remarkably well. It was a fine displny and gave the people of both town and county a better idea of tho fire de parlment of Bloomsburg than could have been conveyed In an ordinary street parade. After the fin men bad passed, the horses wci called up and it was found that there werethiee entries: A. Davidson's Naiad Queen, Major Hicks' Lem and W. A. Hartzel's Dan. The litter was entered to fill out the list and was sure of third money. Tho company was a good deal too fast for him and he was not an import ant ficlor in tho race. The other horses were speedy and well matihed and gave as interest ing and cxrilh'g a trot as wis ever seen on tins truck. The grand stand was crowded with sptctalors, a fact that provfB the attractive p w er possesstd by good horfCs. In -ss-igning pl.ices, the mare got the pole, with Lem second aud Dan on the imtsidc. On tlio word 'go," the marc obtaimd a slight lead artl maintained it through the heal, trolling tho mile without askip in 2.20. Lira broke several tunes, losing ground each tin)-. In the second heat both horses left thiir feet two or three times, mithcr gaining any advan tage. There was an exciting struggle fivni the three-quarter polo and Ihe iwo horres swum: into the In me stietch neck nnd neck. The mare did the best dotting anil passed under the wire the winner by a neck in 2 28. The mare struck henelf in ihe third heat, left her feet and became so neivous that Lem took tho lend and clo sed the score a ccupU of englhsubiad,In2 201. Jn the fourth and final heat Iho mare settled down to her work nnd trotted biautifully. The horse behavid ladly, broaking siveral times and dropping bihind so far that the mare was an easy winner, lime, It was agreed on all sides that a belter race had never taken place on Iho track, although faster tlmo has been made on one or two occa sions. J. lie tnllowlrg Is me summary: A. Davidson t liters b. m, Nniad Queen,!, 1,2, 1 James Hicks enteis b. s. Lem 2,2, 1,2 W. A. Hartzel enters b. g. Dan 3, 3,3,dr. Time, 2.29, 2.28, 2 20J, 2.28. The winner of each heat was loudly cheered and crowds mnounded both horses as I hey were brought In fronlof Ihe jndgt's stuud when the result was announced. KOTKa. Incredible as it may appear to tho people of Bloomsburg, It ia nevertheless a fact that num bors of people who live in Ihe uppir townships of the county, refund lo attend Ihe fair on ao count of tho smallpox, which loathsome ilia- ease thoy firmly belicvid was epidemic here. Really, ihero is nola case in town Despite the rainy weather of Thursday, wo are pleasod to know that tho Society not only met their expense', but realized somo profit, The receipts foot up $2800. The up train on ihe L. & II. It. R. on Frb day night, consbtid of ten cars and all theo wero crowded with passengers. Thero Is a steady Incroaue cach.year In the number of vlti tors outsido ol the county, to our fair. Thero was a good-humored but noisy crowd in town on Friday night. Far too many in toxicated young men wero to be seen on the fair grouuds, both Friday and Saturday. An unusual amount of I'quor was drank and much of it by mere boys, who very plainly showed Ihe ell'utU of their indulgrnco. Tho jKiliio had an easy time on the grounds, as the large crowd was very orderly. Not a fight or disturbance of any kind occurred, bo far as we have knowledge. The hotels did a lively business on Friday. The Exchange was crowded to its utmost ca. paclty, the bed rooms wiro all Ink en and num bers ofgueMshad to contint ihumelveu with cots and softs. Tho dining room was filled with ono eel cf burgiy ntn arid wi men, and two or three moro eels, equally hungry, walled outside. Mine boetTubbe proves equal lo the a'so thronged, and Mr. Georgo H.

Ho was not n uch hurl, but a Bomewhat sore from his tumble. The lltllo daughter of 1. S.

Therewasa commendable ebence of squab bling and quarrcliug at tho race) this year, and thcrp were neither harsh words nor angry feelings on tho part of tlio judges or horsemen. Mr, Caspar Rhawn was tbo orator of the board of judges, and It was ngrecd by an utian imouB vole, that as an cxlemporo speaker he possesses merits far aboyo tbo average. It re quires eloquence of a most persuasive kind to Bootho the milled feelings of a driver and check the disappointment of a crowd. W. M. Hughes, of Hazleton, brought a trot ter to the fair, hut contrary to the expectations of his liiends, did not enter the horse in the free-for-all race. Among the visitors on the grounds, Friday, were Hon. Robert Kiotz and Gen. William Lilley, of Mauch Chunk; James E. Gaj, ef Laflln: Capt. Tom C. Purker, of Wilkes-Barrej W. M. Gearhart, prolhonotary of Montour county. Very many persons seem to be unaware of the danger they incur by standing on the edge of the track during a race. Especially is this true aregards the turn just below tho judged stand If a rein should break when the horse is round Ing this sharp corner at full Fpeed.or if tho ani mal should lake fright and bolt the track, seri ous injuries if t o' derth would ensue. Either of these events is liable to ccctir at any time and yet there is always a crowd of men and boys to bo found taking the risk of mutilaticn or death, either from gt ornnce or thcnghtles'- ness. 11 would be well ll tue etneerset the. so ciety would iiisht that til spectators must re main inside Ihe railing, w litre they are protect ed.
